Options file: If you want to override the report settings specified in the GUI’s Preferences panel, you can specify a .properties file configured with your custom report settings. Also see Configuring Localsettings

Report location: Specify where to output the report file. By default, reports are created in the <user_home_dir>\Local Settings\Temp\parasoft\xtest directory.

Open in browser: Enable/disable opening the report file in the browser automatically.

Delete on exit: Enable/disable deleting the report upon exiting C++test.

Generate reports: Enable/disable generating a report. You cannot proceed if this setting is disabled.

Publish reports to Team Server: Enable this option if C++test is connected to DTP and you are using Team Server to manage shared reports and configurations.

You can also generate and configure reports from the bottom of the Test Progress panel.

Proceed immediately generates the report using the existing options.

Configure allows you to review and modify reporting options before generating the report.

Generating the Test Execution Details Report

You can generate an additional Test Execution Details report linked to your regular report (see Understanding Reports for details). To generate this report, configure the following settings in the test configuration before executing it:

Click Generate Report after the test completes (see Generating the Report). The link to the Test Execution Details report will be available in the Test Execution Details column included in the Additional Reports section at the bottom of main report (see Understanding Reports).

You can also generate the Test Execution Details report in XML format. This enables you to apply additional post-processing workflows to the test execution results. The XML file is available in the same location as the original Test Execution Details HTML file, for example:

Uploading the Report to DTP

Go to Parasoft> Preferences... > DTP and enable the Enable reporting results to DTP option in the Reports area.

Publishing reports to DTP requires the "DTP Publish" or "Automaton" license feature to be enabled.

Uploading the Report to Team Server

To upload the report to Team Server (Automation Edition only):

Follow the above procedure, but be sure to enable Publish Reports to Team Server before clicking OK.

Team Server uses the following criteria to identify unique reports:

Host name

User name

Session tag

Day - each day, only the last test run is used in trend graph

If your team performs multiple cli runs per day—and you want all reports included on Team Server—you need to use a different session tag for each run. You can do this in the Test Configuration’s Common tab (using the Override Session Tag option).

Generating Reports from the Command Line

To generate a report of command line test results, use the -report %REPORT_FILE% option with your cli command.

To upload the report to Team Server, use the -publishteamserver option.
